Feminist Practice in the 21st Century

This important text demonstrates how the feminist standpoints of knowing, connecting, caring, and diversity can help practitioners build communities and solve problems. With the multiplicity of their experiences and the diversity of their ways of knowing, feminists develop strong personal and community relationships. Their practice can provide a context for caring, connecting, partnering, and community building that can move us to solutions for major problems. Feminist Practice in the 21st Century contains 18 chapters organized by methods, fields of practice, and special populations. From the feminization of poverty to the feminist perspective on politics, chapters set forth a feminist model in social work theory and practice. Educators, students, and practitioners will find the book a compelling resource.
